The bags and numbers were reused as completed kits were returned.

Some people just made pieces for kits - for example, one pattern was alternating squares and 4-patches, so sometimes people would just sit down and make a huge stack of 4-patches to put into the kits. Some people didn't like doing the quilting, so you weren't forced to do it - you could just return the completed tops, and people that enjoyed quilting would do that part.

I found that the kits were really nice; you could choose your favourite bit of making a quilt, and just do that rather than being responsible for every step from beginning to end. We got a huge number of donation quilts completed, so I think it was a successful approach!
